Tyee Road Green Space

Tyee Road Green Space is in the seaside community of Victoria, one of thirteen communities that form the Capital Regional District of British Columbia. An pleasant double switch-back pathway leads from Tyee Road Green Space to 320 Harbour Road. Harbour Road Green Space is a pathway that has a series of three or four concrete steps between plateau sections as well as benches to stop and enjoy the view of the Upper Harbour waterway of Victoria, BC. Point Hope Shipyard lies along the foreshore of the harbour. This green space leads to Tyee Road Green Space behind the Dockside Green buildings and residences that form the high rise buildings on the ridge. Native plants have been placed in the ground the length of the pathway. The pathway is partially lit at each of the sets of stairs. On both sides of Harbour Road there is a sidewalk and bike trail. This section of the trail is called Harbour Road Bike Trail, Galloping Goose Trail and Trans Canada Trail.

An avid walker, hiker and naturalist, I share these urban parks and outdoor spaces with you to encourage you to explore the neighborhoods in the Capital Regional District of British Columbia by foot. Immersing yourself in our natural world, on the southern end of Vancouver Island, is important to living a balanced life. Each place takes less than an hour to explore. Exploring your community by foot is wonderful and healthy way to experience the areas around your backyard with the added bonus of frequent rest stops for young and old. The parks, playgrounds and green spaces are described from north to south. A brief description of the nature of each community park is provided with directions.
